Pattern of Excellence: Nike and UK to Unveil New Look for Hoops Team

New Uniforms Pay Homage to Spirit and Culture of Bluegrass State

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Nike and the University of Kentucky will celebrate the state's great tradition on the hardwood this evening, while recognizing another tradition intertwined within the spirit, culture and history of the Bluegrass state.

With Lexington's historic Keeneland racetrack as the backdrop, representatives from Nike and UK will formally unveil new uniforms for the 2008-09 University of Kentucky men's basketball team. The updated look incorporates a multitude of performance innovations and a distinctive design that draws upon another rich Kentucky institution as ingrained in the state's lore as basketball - horse racing.

Inspiration from the Track
Across the rolling hills, from Keeneland to Churchill Downs, the echoes and influence of the thoroughbred are virtually omnipresent throughout the state of Kentucky. The University of Kentucky's new uniforms pay tribute to the state's long and prestigious horse racing tradition, as well as that of its men's basketball program, one that has garnered over 1900 wins and seven championships.

Inspired in part by the jockey silks that adorned the likes of Kentucky legends on the racetrack, the Wildcats' new shorts and jerseys each features elements of a royal blue and white checkerboard pattern. The checkered design subtly plays out on the front of the team's jerseys and shorts.

In addition, on Kentucky's white uniforms, a blue and white checkerboard swatch is centered on the waistband of their shorts and features eight individual "boxes." Emblazoned in seven of the eight squares are the numbers '48, '49, '51, '58, '78, '96 and '98, representing championship seasons for the Wildcats. The "empty" eighth quadrant serves as a reminder of the school's legacy and motivation for the current Wildcats to ensure another year is soon inscribed within it.

"Our hope was to use the uniform as a canvas to tell a bigger story of the championship spirit of the state of Kentucky and its basketball team," said Tracy Teague, Global Creative Director for Nike Basketball. "Additionally, we desired to create functional uniforms that allowed the players to display the athleticism, power, speed and strength critical for success on the court."

Performance Benefits for the Court
Kentucky's new uniforms incorporate several Nike innovations that were first introduced for the USA Basketball Men's National Team that captured gold this past August in Beijing. The jerseys take advantage of Nike Aerographics, an engineered mesh providing zoned cooling that reduces up to half the yarn, making it more lightweight and breathable. Specific adjustments in the waistband, shoulder seam and other areas, along with Nike Dri-FIT technology, provide increased comfort and thermoregulation to enable players to perform at their optimal level on the court.

"The University of Kentucky is honored to be selected as the first collegiate basketball team to incorporate Nike's new innovations," said Kentucky Head Coach Billy Gillispie. "The elements of the new uniforms featuring two of our greatest heroes are a reminder of the passion that the Bluegrass state has for its horse racing and Kentucky basketball."

Honoring a Kentucky Legend
In addition to design and performance enhancements, the Wildcats new look is special for another important reason. Each player's jersey includes a special call out to Kentucky legend Bill Keightley. In the Bluegrass state, and basketball circles around the world, Keightley was known simply as "Mr. Wildcat." He served as an equipment manager for the University of Kentucky men's basketball team for more than 48 years and was a part of their '78, '96 and '98 championship teams.

An enthusiastic and ever-welcoming fixture of Wildcats basketball for nearly half a century, Keightley is one of only two non-players to have a jersey retired in Rupp Arena and in 2007 was inducted into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame. He died earlier this year at the age of 81, and, in his honor, UK's new uniforms feature a black patch across the shoulder with "Mr. Wildcat" in script.

Midnight Madness Debut
The Wildcats will wear the new uniforms for the first time during the school's Midnight Madness festivities and throughout the 2008-09 season.

Expect a lot of controversy to circle the SU basketball program when the season starts. I mentioned it the off-season college bball thread but for those that haven't heard I'll mention it again. Last November Jonny Flynn, Scoop Jardine and Rick "dumb as rocks" Jackson were charged with sexual assault. Jonny Flynn is the only one who had his charges dropped (I wonder why?) but Jardine and Jackson are still under the microscope. The newspaper and media in Syracuse have done a great job of keeping this under wraps but anyone who's in the know in terms of College Basketball (not that rivals and scout.com %%*!+$$@) has heard what happened here on the hill. This is Scoop's second strike and I expect him to be kicked out of school before Spring Break.

As far as the OOC goes, it's not great but depending on how our season goes this year it'll be somewhat good. The standout games are Memphis, Cornell (NCAA tourney last year), Florida and the winner of Kansas/Washington. UVA isn't that good of a team and a loss to them would look terrible.

The only question I have about this team is whether or not Boeheim will coach to keep the lead or go for the jugular when he has the chance.

Not going to this year's Midnight Madness unless I get word as to whether or not the Syracuse Hyperdunks will be sold as a quickstrike release.

There aren't many teams better on paper, bur what does that really mean?

BRISTOL, Conn. - Gonzaga University will be one of five stops as ESPNU will televise four hours of Midnight Madness basketball coverage beginning at 6 p.m. PT on Friday, Oct. 17, expanding its coverage 30 minutes from last season and showcasing more schools.

The network will present extensive whip-around coverage of several Midnight Madness events, including those at Gonzaga, Davidson, Kansas, Georgetown and Indiana, which will be the five primary men's basketball programs highlighted. Several of ESPN's top men's college basketball analysts will be on hand at each of the sites, such as Jay Bilas, Fran Fraschilla, Bill Raftery and Steve Lavin, providing practice coverage, analysis, and courtside interviews with the head coach and key players from each team.
